What should I wear for my Senior Portrait Session? (Boys addition)

Classic Button-Down Shirt & Chinos: A crisp, solid-colored or subtly patterned button-down shirt paired with well-fitted chinos in neutral tones (khaki, navy, or gray) offers a clean and polished look.

Layered Look: Add a casual blazer or sweater over a collared shirt for a more sophisticated and layered style. This adds depth and texture to the photos without being too formal.

Denim, Leather Jacket, Flannel, Sweater: For a more laid-back or edgy vibe, a denim or leather jacket works great. Pair it with a solid t-shirt or a simple plaid shirt to keep things casual yet stylish.

Solid Polo & Dark Jeans: A fitted polo shirt in a solid color can create a neat, clean look. Pair it with dark-wash jeans for a sharp but relaxed feel.


A sports jersey or full uniform. Including equipment that should be included (helmet, hat, ball, stick…)

Accessories: Keep it minimal. A simple watch or belt can add subtle details that enhance the outfit without overwhelming the portrait.

Footwear: For shoes, think clean sneakers, loafers, or dress shoes, depending on the look you’re going for. Make sure they’re polished and in good condition.


Whatever you choose, aim for clothes that reflect the student’s personality and stay away from distracting prints or logos. Neutral colors and simple patterns photograph well and will keep the focus on the subject’s face.
